I hope this is not true. I also have first hand knowledge, that TT is the reason Houston and Riggs got it turned around last season. The turnovers by the RB'S was a problem this year, but lets remember CPF was the one who limited the number of touches for Riggs and Cory in Pre-season for fear of injury's. TT brings a fire and relationship and the players can identify with his style. I think it would be a big mistake to send TT packing.. Look where Foster is now, TT was the one who got him ready to step in.. Thats more than the other players who have been called on to "step up"

Lets keep Trooper.

A very good article that speaks alot of truth about the current UT program and CPF. For example:

    "There is no doubt that Tennessee is always loaded with talent. Fulmer has Top 10 recruiting classes every single year. However, there is equally no doubt that his coaching staff is not Top 10 nationally. Virtually none of them are in great demand by anyone else. Fulmer has let down the very players he recruits by not having a top staff to coach and develop them. He has also let down the donors who pour money into the program hand over fist to pay his salary and build unrivaled facilities.
    This total bomb of a year didn’t have to happen. Fulmer bears total responsibility for letting things slide to the point they have. His hires are critical to get the program back on track. The wheels are off the wagon and a major fix is required. Fulmer must be more proactive for the rest of his career and recognize the changes that need to be made before such a season as this ever happens again.
    There have already been some rumblings among UT boosters that Fulmer is simply bringing on more inbreeding on his staff and is not serious about a true national search to upgrade it. There is no question he intends to keep his hires within the Vol family if at all possible. He certainly values loyalty. By making these moves, he is drawing a tighter circle around himself. The consequences of that can be both good and bad, and the merits of it will surely be debated by the fans and donors.
    There will be no excuses next year for a lack of ability to get the job done during practice or in preparation. These men will know how to win games and have done so at other places. If they don’t do it in 2006, with all the talent that is on campus already, everyone, including Fulmer, should be looking for another job in another field or simply retire. It will be do or die for the Fulmer regime next season. His reputation and his job may both be on the line with these hires, and he is staking both of them on them. There is no margin for error next time around."

That article speaks half-truths from someone using internet fodder to promote his own agenda. This guy is an ex-lawyer caught drug dealing to try and be a sports agent for an ex-vol. He trys to say Coach Caldwell has done nothing for UT as a coach or recruiter. This is an obvious agenda pushing dweeb who may have connections to Majors but who obviously is not out to help UT only tear them down.

It's either true or he's trying to make it true....does he have big connections to money and alumni? Could this be a bloc trying to make their dream scenario happen?

This is typical Tennessee. Bring all the good ole boys back . I am tired of them I want new blood and this will bite them in the rear and I will be glad when all them are gone. Come on Hamilton. Get a whole new crew in here :mf_surrender:

Right. We can do it right. Nebraska and Texas A & M just didn't know how to improve their programs. :crazy: :crazy:

As bad as i hate to say it you are probably correct. we will probably be facing replacing everyone from top to bottom to get this turned around.

Moving this assistant and juggling that one is like trying to patch the hole in the Titanic with tinfoil!!! Fulmer will eventually have to go! :boredom:

you guys can doubt this article if you want, but he is the one that came out with the article on the resigning of Coach Sanders the say before it happened. Everything he said in that article has either come true already, or will most likely come true by the end of the year...

Go Charly....TT may lack alot technically, but a guy like that is infectious. Look, I have a hard time even going to games over the last few years because it's too much like a bingo party. I'm the one everyone is looking at funny for screaming bingo at the wrong time(and yes, all the retirees for five sections can hear me and make sunday school-like disapproving faces). The kids see the environment and we are seriously lacking some fire on the feild and in the stadium and Trooper is helping to satisfy that "jonesing" for alot of us(judging from the recruiting).
Fumbles to me are a symptom of a more systemic maylase and lack of pride team-wide than a technique issue. Put six coaches out there with fire and see how quickly they end. I think Trooper would be a huge loss for the program and I don't think we'd have to wait long to see who's right because someone BIG will scoop him up immediately. Thank goodness Texas was'nt able to pull him last year....guess they are just idiots,huh.

I trust Chavis.  If Chavis thinks he's not a very good coach then let him walk.

while i enjoy seeing TT's enthusiasm on the field, i have to agree with this statement as well, if Chief sees something wrong with TT then it might be worth letting him go if this article holds any truth to it

I've lost all faith in ALL of their abilities to make decisions. It's like watching croonies fighting for their fiefdom....Chief is threatened because he KNOWS that Trooper sells. Cheif would have hated Stoops as an assistant....Fulmer would never hire a richt-type( Pre -Ga.) Look at the two headed monster on the d-side at SC. Think CPF would ever do something like that. If they don't sit back, stay out of sight and shut up they won't fit with CPF and Chavis.

you guys are freak'n amazing.

Trooper guided us to one of the best RB recruiting classes last year.

Had two RBs over 1000yards last year.

Motivates players and isnt that a big enough factor?

you think Texas went after him because he was half-azz?

They just don't like the backwards hat, chest bumping, and "cheerleading". God forbid someone show excitement on the sideline.

I like the enthusiasm. However, if you're too friendly with your players, it can be very difficult to crack the whip when necessary.

I wouldn't guess that's a problem with him. He seems like the type that might ride you like a bull if you screw up. Now. . . a few other coaches on our staff on the other hand. . . . (not naming names) (*. . . .still clappping*)

Half-truths????? Watching UT play this year verifies alot of this in the article. A person would have to be blind or has his head in the sand not to be able to see how UT has done in the recent past and continues to do it today. I think the article hit it right on the money.

I didn't stutter and his article only tells the story from a vindictive person who has an axe to grind and is colored in his opinion.
